Abstract

A method for determining motility comprising the detection, by means such as a transducer, of vibration of the external abdominal surface generated by gastrointestinal vibration and analysis of the signals produced by the transducer. Means are provided for integrating the signal over discrete time intervals in order to obtain meaningful results.
